The sneakiest money grip: What carrying it all alone is costing you
<p>If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of your finances completely alone, this one's for you.</p><p></p><p>In this solo episode, Jenni reads the second essay in her Substack money series — a raw, honest look at the pressure grip: what it is, why high achievers and eldest daughters know it so well, and how it quietly drives poor money decisions from a place of urgency and lack. You'll walk away with two practical tools to loosen pressure's hold and start making money decisions from creativity, joy, and expansion instead.</p><p></p><p>Read the full essay series here: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://jennigritters.substack.com/p/when-financial-panic-blocks-the-door" target="_blank">https://jennigritters.substack.com/p/when-financial-panic-blocks-the-door</a></p><p></p><p>Register for The Initiation (June 10th start) here: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-initiation" target="_blank">https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-initiation</a></p><p></p><p>Use this free diagnostic to label your money season & next steps for growth: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-reckoning" target="_blank">https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-reckoning</a></p><p></p><p>Follow Jenni on Instagram here: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/jennigritters/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/jennigritters/</a></p>

You'll walk away with a new framework for understanding why your strategy isn't the problem, what your capacity is, and what it looks like to finally build a business (and a life) that is fully, unapologetically yours.</p><p></p><p><b>Follow Amber:</b></p><ul><li>On <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amberlilyestrom.substack.com/" target="_blank">Substack</a></li><li>On <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/amberlilyestrom/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li><li>Via <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/homeward-the-sovereign-business-podcast/id1102196253" target="_blank">her podcast</a></li><li>Buy Amber's most recent poetry book, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/little-beautiful-things-Amber-Lilyestrom/dp/B0G2HKRT5H" target="_blank"><i>Little Big Beautiful Things</i></a><p></p></li></ul><p><b>Join the World Builders' ecosystem:</b></p><ul><li>Find your <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://worldbuilders.zite.so/" target="_blank">world building archetype</a></li><li>Leave a review for this podcast</li><li>Join us at our next free gathering, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-clearing" target="_blank">The Clearing</a></li></ul><p></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jenni-gritters-on-becoming-the-sustainable-solopreneur/id1102196253?i=1000732791341" target="_blank">Listen to Jenni & Amber talking about Jenni's growth path.</a></p>
